Should you really fear protein on a keto diet? Here’s the most controversial and talked-about presentation of the recent Low Carb Breckenridge conference.

Dr. Benjamin Bikman challenges the worry about protein on a keto diet, based on the fact that the effects of protein may not be the same on a standard vs. keto diet. Specifically, protein has a very different effect on the way the hormones insulin and glucagon work, depending on what diet you’re on.
